Clearly, some things didn't look quite right at the 2012 MMVA's where we saw some bizzare red carpet "things" even we were not sure about. Justin Bieber arrived on the red carpet as a dad celebrating Father's Day with his son and went to greet fans. Last time we checked, the paternity test with Maria Yaeter was a fake and he said he wasn't the father. Ummm, so nothing is wrong in bringing Jaxon to the red carpet but on Father's Day? When you're Bieber and the world knows you, anything goes. I liked that one!

An elephant looking underwear attachment that looks like a dick? This LMFAO co-hosting duo really like being naked which we know, but making their private area more explicit is out of control. Ha! Ha! They made my night. I saw them almost naked all weekend even when the Much folks were interviewing them during rehearsals and Justin Bieber stopped by. SMH.

I don't know about you but who were you watching in this one? Carly Rae or the men and the car. Sure any lady will be looking at the six pack dudes buffing her car into the red carpet especially that one on the right who was so serious with the car. Nice!!

Josh and his boys are always known for wild entrances on the MMVA red carpet. Last nite was no different. A bouncy house showed up on the carpet and instead of kids coming out, it was the trenchers on inflatable horses sown into their outfits. SMH--MsKemi..........LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

  Teenage dream Katy Perry rocked the 2012 MMVAs’ stage after taking home two MMVAs for International Video of the Year and UR Fave International Artist or Group. Co-hosts and party-rockers LMFAO snagged the MMVA for International Video of the Year and owned the show with a mighty mash-up performance of “Party Rock Anthem”, “Champagne Showers”, “Sorry For Party Rocking”, and “Sexy and I Know It”. Capping off the night, Justin Bieber delivered stellar performances of “All Around The World” and “Boyfriend” after winning the award for International Video of the Year by a Canadian and the award for UR FAVE Artist or Group.

MY GURL KE$HA PEES IN PUBLIC, TAKES PHOTO OF IT AND POSTS ONLINE TAGGING IT TO THE COPS PAGE!

Ke$ha and MsKemi at the 2010 MMVA's

Damn, what happened to my girl Ke$ha in the innocent days above? Outrageous pop star Ke$ha has taunted police in California after posting a naughty photo of herself urinating in the street online.The Tik Tok singer tweeted a snap to followers on Wednesday morning and invited cops to "come and get me if you can find me." The photo of the star bent over with her pants pulled down appears to have been taken by herself. Had she been spotted, Ke$ha would have been slapped with a $270 fine.

1ST PERFORMER NAMED: KATY PERRY NAMED AS A PERFORMER AT THE 2012 MMVA'S.

The MMVA's are Canada's VMA's only BETTER! Remember her arrival on the Ice Cream truck on the red carpet in 2010??

Calling all KatyCats! MuchMusic kicks off the biggest award show on the planet with a bang, as the inimitable Katy Perry is the first performer announced for the 2012 MUCHMUSIC VIDEO AWARDS. The Billboard chart-topper and style icon hits the MMVA stage for a second time to blow minds with what is sure to be an explosive performance. Two years ago, Perry made a sweet arrival on the MMVA red carpet in an ice cream truck and dazzled fans with her Candyfornia-themed performance. There might not be ice cream again, but there will surely be screams for Katy! “What other award show shuts down major city blocks to bring thousands of fans at arms length to the biggest pop stars in the world?,” said Sheila Sullivan, Executive Producer, 2012 MUCHMUSIC VIDEO AWARDS. “We’re thrilled to kick off this year’s show with the announcement of one of today’s most sought after artists, Katy Perry. Two years ago she brought Candyfornia to the MMVA stage. No doubt this year’s performance will be out of this world!”

Fans can now mark their calendars, as MuchMusic also confirmed today that the 2012 MUCHMUSIC VIDEO AWARDS airs live from Much HQ in Toronto Sunday, June 17 at 9 p.m. ET. Perry is the first performer confirmed for the party that has fans taking to the streets and lining up overnight for the chance to get Much closer to the hottest A-Listers in the world. Katy’s new single, “Part Of Me” debuted in the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 on Feb. 22, making it the first in a year, and only the 20th in 53 years, to debut at #1. The single also debuted at #1 on iTunes, with over 400,000 downloads in its first week. A special edition of Katy’s triple platinum albumTeenage Dream: The Complete Confection, was released on March 26, and features three new songs. Katy Perry: Part Of Me 3D, the 3D feature film starring Perry releases July 5, and is a first-ever big-screen look at the international superstar’s life both on and off-stage.

For the third year in a row, the MMVAs are simulcast live in the U.S. on Fuse, the national music television network of The Madison Square Garden Company.

Multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar, Katy Perry is arguably one of the most successful and hardest working entertainers in the world. Since the 2008 release of “One of the Boys,” Perry has topped the charts in more than 25 countries and has sold more than 50 million digital tracks and mobile products, as well as 10 million albums worldwide. Her hits include “I Kissed a Girl”, “Hot N Cold”, “Thinking Of You”, “Waking Up in Vegas”; as well as the record-breaking string of #1 hits, “California Gurls“, “Teenage Dream”, “Firework”, “E.T.”, “Last Friday Night”, and “The One That Got Away”, all from the “Teenage Dream” album. Perry recently concluded her sold-out California Dreams Tour, playing 124 arena shows in Europe, Australasia, Asia, North America and South America.
